Wide Band O2's

[Glenn & Debbie Woodhouse]

I have been searching for a cost effective wide band O2 meter solution for
personal use in the tuning of my supercharged Mustang Cobra.  I was pointed
in this direction from some folks off of the Corral board.  I downloaded the
archive and poured through '98 and '99 and followed with interest the
progress of EGOR.  I do see the EGOR project listed but building once myself
is beyond my "core competancies" and would prefer to buy one if a cost
effective solution is now commercially available.  It appeared in the fall
of '99 Garfield Willis was on the eve of product introduction of
EGOR-the-module through a company called AirSIG and that they were working
with a manufacturing company on a meter solution "Proformance AFRmeter".  I
found no futher posts in the '99 archive that showed product availabilty.  I
don't find AirSIG or Proformance via web searches.  Somebody on the Corral
posted a message from this list from Garfield on June 28, 2000 announcing
preliminary pricing now through a company called EGOR Technology, Inc.  I
have not found EGOR Tech through any web searches either.  Garfield supplied
an e-mail address at that time via an MSN server which I tried recently with
no response.  I am thinking something like EGOR-the-module coupled with
DataQ's low cost 8 bit serial port logger would provide a nice system that I
could capture A/F data that is correlated with things like RPM, injector
duty cycle, MAF voltage, (even stock O2 sensor switching voltages), etc.

Garfield are you still on the list, or is there a Y2K archive I can continue
my search in, or can someone else like Dr. Gwynne, Dr. Pelcan or Frank from
the golden days of EGOR provide a status?

Thanks, Glenn.

James,

I agree Autronics makes a good unit, naturally, as I use the SMC. The
only thing I would add, is that you're probably better off having too
many features, than missing one that you might like to have.

That is why I would suggest the SM2 over the SMC, unless you absolutely
need the waterproof case (which I felt obligated to get as mine is
installed in a boat). The SM2 may almost be overkill in the huge number
of features, but it is better than having to choose between using your
single output for idle air or turbo wastegate control. I chose turbo
wastegates, of course, and handle idle with fuel and timing maps. No big
deal, but If I had my druthers, they would offer a waterproof SM2.
